# The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority urges patients and healthcare professionals to report suspected side effects from medicines. The call forms part of the global MedSafetyWeek campaign, running until 8 November. Reports can be made through the Med Safety App or with a healthcare professional, and people do not need to be certain that a medicine caused their symptoms before reporting. SAHPRA says reports help it monitor medicine safety, identify possible risks and take action where necessary.
